This week on Trapping Radio we are looking at a very interesting question. Are blind sets with foothold traps and snare better that DP traps while raccoon trapping. The truth is simple and very complex at the same time on this trapping question. Each trap and trapping system has pro’s and con’s. Even if you use a top quality DP trap like the Freedom Brand Dog Proof Traps like I use, you are asking the raccoon to do something. A blind set does not, but it is slower to put in and does not handle weather as well. So which is better is a tricky questions as you will soon hear.
